heeeeeeeeeeeee! I think I recognise the lady at the back!

[gimlisgloin.livejournal.com]

He is so adorable! Lucky girls, indeed!

[lucky-jack.livejournal.com]

That's the make up girl I was talking about in my post and the other woman was something to do with the production too. They were indeed lucky.

I think LJ ate my comment...

Thank you! It's nice to have some faces to put with the little tidbits in your entry.

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

They're both part of the crew, the blonde haired girl does make-up and costume and I'm not sure what the others were doing but they're definitely crew. Elijah was gossiping with them quite a bit this afternoon.

Okay, now I'm imagining them standing in a circle chattering like a bunch of hens. *sporfle*

I love that he gets on so well with the crew!

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

oh god he was, he's such an old woman like that...they were gossiping about a woman, I dont know what it was about but Lij had a look of horror on his face :) He was also telling one woman that her coat was 'fabulous' and asking her all about it. Straight men do not talk about women's clothes like that lol.

Hee! Sure they do, if they either, A) are the flirtatious type, or B) have a girlfriend that they think might look good in them. Plus, I think Elijah, for all his studied casualness, is really into clothes!

[msilverstar]

Metrosexual! Like Dom (and my teenboy)

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

That's it, yeah! More fashion sense than I'll ever have. :)

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

Just remembered, the pretty blonde girl in the picture is called Amanda. Yesterday when Elijah saw her and she came up to where he was sitting with us, he looked like a kid on Christmas morning and said "Amanda" really loud and gave her a huge hug. Today he took pictures of her doing cartwheels between takes. Weird :)

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

N'awww, I think it's sweet! How completely un-celebrity-ish could he be? I can't imagine that too many stars bother to make friends with the crew.

[ex-salwood.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm...wonder which model of Canon that camera is?

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

I guess that it's his own camera? I think that's what jdsmylover said. Maybe he was influenced by your own, because this looks like a serious camera!

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

I didnt get close enough to see what camera it was, but he was very excitedly taking pictures with it and showing them to all the crew. Can you see on Alex's blog picture maybe? The first thing I thought of when I saw him with it was you :)

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

sorry, me being too tired, I forgot I was replying to a post that had that picture in it...need bed...off now...*yawn*

[ladysnaps.livejournal.com]

if that's elijah's camera, then BIG props to him. a canon something "D" or "EOS" or something or other. :P

[sssneaking.livejournal.com]

I can't figure out what camera it is. My best guess is that it's a Canon 5D or something like that (top of the line, pro level DSLR). He's definitely got an L-series (again top of the line, pro-quality) lens on it (that red ring on the end of the camera is a give away of that). Very expensive.

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Must be nice to be a geek and also be able to support your habits. ;-)

[sssneaking.livejournal.com]

Although if he was taking a video, it can't be a DLSR. So, I must be entirely wrong. Definitely L-series lens though.

[ex-salwood.livejournal.com]

I know quite a lot about Canon cameras, and I'm trying to figure out which lens it is. It doesn't look short enough for the 17-40, so I'm wondering if it is the 28-80mm lens. I soooo want that lens!

:D

[sssneaking.livejournal.com]

Couldn't indentify the lens either, though what you say sounds about right (it definitely does not look like the 17-40 to me). I'm still pretty much a beginner (got my first DSLR last year and I'm been a bit slack over the winter) so you'll know better than I will.

[douglas1961.livejournal.com]

I figured out about his camera system. Probably they are
EOS 30D.
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=12929
and
EF24-105mm F4L IS USM
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=149&modelid=11924

EOS 30D is not for professional photographer, also definitely not for beginners.
I do not know those prices in United States. In Japan, EOS 30D is about $1500 and EF24-105mm Lens is about $1800.
I remembered some photographs that Lij purchased something in the camera shop last year.
(Though I can't remember exact date)
I guessed he bought the newest product. Because EOS 30D was released March 2006 in Japan.

How do you think?

[verangel.livejournal.com]

ok..is he like the most genuinly sweetest thing?? thud...again. I am pathetic.
v sighs.

[not-alone.livejournal.com]

Elijah had persuaded the girl in red to do a cartwheel for the video - I was watching this little episode - think it was today but could have been yesterday - so much to remember!!

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

it was today, it was cute wasnt it? he's such a big kid :)

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

How cute -- I would have done it for him, too. But it wouldn't have been anywhere near as cute. o_O

Will we get a report from you? I spotted you in photos from Alex's blog yesterday!

[not-alone.livejournal.com]

"Will we get a report from you? I spotted you in photos from Alex's blog yesterday!"

Hopefully tonight:)

[nasturtium-leas.livejournal.com]

There you are! You must tell us everything!

[not-alone.livejournal.com]

Hopefully tonight:) It's been an amazing two days!!

[emmi-i.livejournal.com]

very lucky girls indeed :)

[frodos-smile.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I just love to see that man handle a camera...

[sophinisba]

How cool is it that we have first-hand accounts of this from both the director and the fans? :D The text that goes with that pic translates something like this:

Elijah managed, I don't know how, to get the Australian Blonde, the girl standing next to him (the smiling woman from costumes) to do a cartwheel on the set, and he took some pictures. Things that go on.

I wouldn't have recognized the word for cartwheel without these other comments. Also, from the end of the entry (not about Elijah but interesting!):

Apart from that, leaving aside the damn inserts, everything went marvelously well. I finished the lecture sequence with a ton of shots, really rich, and Mr. Hurt comes out as superb as ever. It's surprising, because he was feeling uncomfortable with the extras gone. As I mentioned, yesterday we had four hundred people, but today we had fifty. John needed the people. It wasn't the same, acting in front of a room packed with audience members, as with a bunch of empty chairs. Still, the fact that PRECISELY for that reason today's takes are better is remarkable, they're dryer, harder. The mysterious, extremely complex and absorbing world of acting.

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that translation! The babelfish version about Elijah and the camera made absolutely no sense! (And how funny is that, that he was able to charm her into showing off for his camera, and on the set, no less!)

I got that bit about John Hurt, though. Man, I would have loved to be in that room to hear and see him act! I've been a fan of his for a frighteningly long time.

[janinelearner.livejournal.com]

John definitely had a problem with there not being a big crowd yesterday. He really interacted with the 'students' on Tuesday while giving his speech. Yesterday he was much stiffer and he seemed fairly stressed. The speech was still wonderful but not as flowing as the day before. He's still a consumate professional though and kept going till he was happy.
